Why do people like you try to outweigh one bad thing for another? Yes, coal plants are bad, too. But how is that an excuse for nuclear plants?

It's like saying: Army A is better than army B, because army B is causing more deaths in this war.

BTW. The Chernobyl and Fukushima desasters are still harming society. These desasters are still in progress.

Because nuclear plants can replace coal plants. Replacing a bad thing with a less bad thing is a good thing.

Because if anti-nuclear activists were to back down and let us replace coal with nuclear, tens of thousands of lives would be saved. The death toll might not be 0, but it would almost certainly be lower.

Link? I'm also very curious what can be done with after carbon sequestration if you have any links for that…
